You can always count on Dumb Ron Johnson to spill the beans. According to Johnson, the tea party GOP strategy on Obamacare is to delay implementation so they can create as many myths and fears around something that is already doing just the opposite. He even wants to make it THE issue in the midterms. The worst that could happen is that people will get used to it, and like it, so they no longer have to worrying about losing coverage, bake sale fund raisers to pay for care, or go bankrupt.
The public plan doesn't have any of the technical issues employers encountered, so why delay it. But for talking point dummies like Johnson, thinking is out of the question.
One thing that is new and not what his party leadership wants; Johnson wants to try and pass reform bills of their own. Republicans are not in the mood to govern. The temper tantrum over two Obama wins continues.
To give you an idea of how needlessly bent out of shape he is, this headline says it all:
Sen. Ron Johnson says Obamacare is bigger threat to freedom than PRISMReally, the surveillance program that trashes our civil liberties is less a threat? Who knew having health care would destroy the country. From WKOW:
Go for it, Sen. Sunspots! See how that works for you.
ReplyDelete2010 was one helluva fluke, wasn't it? Pathetic that so many states had to be screwed on gerrymandering due to that temper tantrum.
